Update on tragic stabbing of Queensland grandmother

Five teenage boys have now been charged over the fatal stabbing of Queensland grandmother Vyleen White. 

The 70-year-old was allegedly stabbed in the chest as she was returning to her car after grocery shopping with her young granddaughter at Redbank Plains Shopping Centre on Saturday evening. 

A 16-year-old boy has since been arrested at a unit complex in Bellbird Park shortly after 2.30pm on Monday. He has been charged with one count of murder, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and three counts of stealing.

He is due to appear at Ipswich Children's Court on Tuesday.

Two other 16-year-old boys from Goodna and Bellbird Park were also arrested not long after, and charged with the unlawful use of a motor vehicle. 

A 15-year-old boy was arrested at Redbank Plains and was also charged with the unlawful use of a motor vehicle, along with possessing tainted property.

This comes just one day after another 15-year-old boy handed himself in to Ipswich Police Station, and was charged with the unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

These arrests come after a major manhunt and public appeal for help in locating the alleged offenders, with Queensland police saying that the extensive investigation remains ongoing.
